The tizen version is finally close to release. I don’t use a Samsung TV but in-laws do and I don’t like installing the dev version.

Yeah, the Tizen app will be huge for me. I’ve been dual-running Plex and JF specifically because a few of my users have Tizen devices. And there’s no way I’d be able to explain sideloading to my “throws up their hands and says it’s too complicated as soon as they see anything unexpected” relatives over the phone.

Is it a nativ tizen app? So far there was a webview which is ok but it’s a webview

The ‘Experimental’ layout is now enabled by default for all non-TV devices, introducing a new navigation layout and updated UI components.
Anyone got pictures?
mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 2 days ago
ahhh I’ve been waiting for a new layout, too bad i probably won’t get to use it since they won’t fix the bug/feature that keeps the pc awake and screen on with a black image after an episode finishes (when autoplay off)

I will say that the 10.11 update for me was a freaking nightmare with so different types of failures.
I’m still waiting the ability to remove seasons without deleting the media, especially since I now have ton’s of duplicate season_xxxx seasons from the major version update, mucking up most of my seasons that I didn’t have before.
Oh and chromecasting on the app is still a giant mess.
Still great to hear they’re making progress.

Just upgraded from 10.07. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.
besbin@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
10.11 is still a hot mess for large home media collection. Especially one with images mixed in. The team doesn’t even seem to prioritize fixing all of that before moving on building new features. Music collection are also slower and albums meta don’t load correctly anymore. I would hold off from fully converting to it if you have a large collection

SWIM has a sizable aged library - wouldn’t be surprising with sqlite db corruptions by now - and absolutely no issues smoothly upgrading to 10.11. Had sweaty upgrades a few times over the years but this was not one of them.
avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
I do have a large collection and I haven’t checked the music lib state yet. I have a zfs snapshot from before the upgrade so I could restore if shit hits the fan.
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
I honestly found it much better to create a new db for 10.11 vs migrating. Both took about the same amount of time but the fresh db has no issues and the migrated db has some hiccups like you described (and some others). Main downside is you lose watch status
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
10.11 first library scan will take AGES because of the new db changes or something. My library is huge (~100tb of media) and it took days. Subsequent scans are much faster, like 10-12 minutes on 10th gen Xeon (roughly i5 equivalent) for a full library scan.
avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Fucking hell. OK, I’ll upgrade again and wait longer. Mine’s ~15TB.
Cyber@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Wow.
Ok, I don’t have anywhere near that amount of media, but MythTV takes seconds to rescan ~2TB of videos and maybe a minute to get any missing details like fanart, etc.
Similar amount for music - but I feed it the files after I’ve run them through Picard.
I’ve not done a complete rescan of eveything for ages, but from memory it’s like an hour absolute tops. More like ~30 mins.
And that’s on an underclocked CPU (for quietness).
Lonewolfmcquade@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Thanks for this. Good to know! I haven’t taken the leap yet. I’ll plan the upgrade when we will be on vacation…

I was using Jellyfin it to watch old episodes of Sherlock Holmes last night, during a break we switched over to playing a few songs I had thrown on there. The interface for movies and shows seems great but my spouse asked me, “why is there a shuffle option for shows?” To which I said idk, maybe if someone watches something like family guy it doesn’t matter. But then when we were under my music section, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to use shuffle. It was probably user error, but it seemed strange
h0rnman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Looks like when you’re in a “mixed Playlist”, whatever that means, the shuffle and loop buttons are removed from the interface of the audio player (AudioPlayerView.bs:148-159). I’m not sure why that is, but it seems like it’s deliberate.

Which client were you using? Android? Roku? etc.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 days ago
For me it was far too hungry on CPU at “idle”.

I got a issue that it keeps my servers hdd awake even when not in use. Hope they can fix that soon.
rdri@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Android TV / Chromecast: subtitles are broken since November for external players. Literally stopped watching my shows.
Xanvial@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I found 2 major issues on subtitle for external played,
- displaying italic words in external player subtitle
- if there’s an .ass subtitle file, no subtitle will shown
Because of this, now I use built in player until it’s solved
Lonewolfmcquade@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This is why I don’t update unless absolutely necessary. I’m only running a local instance so it is less of a security issue. Once I land on a working version, I’m gonna go ahead and stick with that as long as I can.
douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Really with they would take security vulnerabilities seriously 😞
Because they are significant, and broad reaching.
zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
I don’t understand why they put so much effort into clients, when the server is still missing so many QoL features. I wish they would finally focus on those, or else I have no reason to move away from Plex.
1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
I put my time and effort into the Roku client because I’m not a C# programmer.
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
And I greatly appreciate it! My wife and I are thrilled with the latest-ish changes (my server was out of commission basically all of last year)
h0rnman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Doing the Lord’s work. BrightScript seems to exist only as a way to torment those of lesser constitution.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Sir, I posted elsewhere and it appears your expertice may help my experience. Android/web allows shuffle at the top for music. Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music and/or is there someone I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?
Anivia@feddit.org 1 day ago
Very exiting. I’m looking forward to the day I can finally ditch Plex
P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I changed to jellyfin a couple of weeks ago, and my wife and I both prefer jellyfin, by far. It’s quicker and just looks better. We only use it for streaming local content, never used any other Plex features.

I love EVERYTHING there except
I can fix it, and it’s no big deal, but I provide services to friends and family who’ll need me to walk them through it.
That’s the stuff where we lose out to corporate products.
Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 days ago
They sometimes lose things as well.
And they harrass their users in other ways, for example by randomly renaming stuff to “AI…” or even integrating with AI.
rumba@piefed.zip 2 days ago
100%
Ads, selling private data, adding AI, cutting features.
I just need JF to be in the same neighborhood as the corporate stuff for security and end-user ease of use. I can do a hell of a lot of complicated stuff on my end, but walking grandma through a change is painful.
immobile7801@piefed.social 2 days ago
That looks specific to jf desktop, do you have many users using that?
rumba@piefed.zip 2 days ago
One too many apparently :)
I’ll survive.

On the plus side it actually plays video smoothly for me now where as before it didn’t work at all.
